Simple tips for buying the perfect sectional for your home
When buying a sectional sofa, consider the following simple tips to ensure you make the best choice for your space and needs:
1. Measure Your Space
Measure your room dimensions, including doorways and staircases, to ensure the sectional will fit comfortably.
Leave enough space for walking around the sectional.
2. Choose the Right Shape
L-shape: Ideal for small to medium-sized rooms and corners.
U-shape: Best for larger rooms and seating multiple people.
Chaise sectional: Great for lounging with an extended seat.
3. Consider Fabric and Durability
Choose fabric that suits your lifestyle (e.g., stain-resistant materials for homes with kids or pets).
Rowe offers many “KidProof” fabrics that are durable. Some repel liquids, such as coffee or wine, others are fade resistant.
4. Check for Comfort and Cushion Quality
Sit on the sectional to test comfort. Ensure cushions are firm yet soft, and back support is adequate.
High-density foam or down-wrapped cushions are good options for longevity. Rowe has several cushion options for your comfort.
5. Pay Attention to Style
Pick a design that complements your room’s decor, whether modern, traditional, or minimalist.
Consider the leg style and armrest shape for aesthetics.
6. Verify the Orientation
Choose between a right-facing or left-facing sectional, depending on your room layout.
7. Set a Budget
Sectionals can vary widely in price. Set a budget and look for a balance between quality and cost.
8. Shop Local and think about US made.
Shopping locally instead of big box stores helps support the local economy. Money spent at local businesses often stays within the community, helping it grow and thrive. US made products, such as Rowe, helps minimize our carbon footprint, as goods don’t have to be shipped long distances. We also love Rowe for their eco-friendly practices.

By keeping these tips in mind, you can find a sectional that fits your home and lifestyle perfectly!
